10 Things My Allume Roomie Needs to Know
Just for fun and just to celebrate the conference I get to attend at the end of the month, I decided to join up with other Allume attendees at Brooke McGlothlin's blog and write the 10 things I want my Allume conference roomie to know about me.
This is my first time going to any kind of blogging/writing/social media conference and my first time going to any kind of conference that I had to fly to get to. I am nervous and excited! I can't believe I get to go!
My Roomie is Jacqui from Faith and Simplicity. I have met her once inRL and I am pretty sure she's like my sister from another mister. She's such a sweetheart and seems to process things freakishly similar to me.
{Update 10/9/12: I have TWO more roommates, whom I do not know at all, but I can tell, I definitely want to meet them! Anna and Sarah, I have a feeling we are going to have fun.}
Just as a warning: You may find out way more about me than you ever wanted to know.
I would love to know (Allume attendees and my readers alike), do we have anything in common??

- I get really silly when I am tired and it's late... like crazy-stupid silly, like laugh-at-all-my-own-jokes silly, like none-of-my-jokes-are funny-at-any-other-time silly, like make-up-dance-moves-to-Backstreet-Boy's-songs silly. Yeah. You've been warned.
- While I may come to life at night, this princess turns into a pumpkin in the morning (or perhaps more accurately a bear). Probably best to avoid talking to me until I've had my coffee.
- I really like chocolate. Any kind (white, dark, milk, semi-sweet, bittersweet... Symphony bars with almonds and toffee...)
- I drink foo-foo coffee (iced half-sweet vanilla latte or iced carmel macchiato, half the pumps of vanilla and easy on the caramel, just saying). I just can't get into black coffee.
- I am an introvert. Just because I am quiet, doesn't mean I don't want to be around you. I may just not know what to say at that moment. I may just be enjoying the quiet. Also, I have to have quiet time by myself to recharge daily. If you can't find me, there's a good chance I am taking a walk in the fresh air, hiding in the room, or sitting somewhere quiet to read my Bible and meditate.
- I am really approachable and love to problem solve. If I am hogging the bathroom mirror, said something wrong (as I am prone to when I am tired, see point 1), or you would like some quiet time too because say you are an introvert like me, just say so :)
- Some of my favorite music: Matisyahu, Mumford and Sons, songs like "Boot-Scootin Boogie" by Brooks and Dunn, "Rapper's Delight," just about anything from the 90's, and anything I can sing and/or dance to. Oh and Hillsong United. Favorite. Worship. Band. Ever. (Oh and I pretty much can't help but sing and dance along anytime there is music. If I don't sing and dance, my head starts bobbing in rhythm and my eyebrows go up and down with the notes of the melody. Just let me sing and dance. Or keep the music off. Or better yet, Join me!)
- In college I used to participate in rap-offs with a group of friends. Wanna go? Ha!!... But seriously... want to? ;)
- I am pretty sure I don't snore or have strange odors... unless I am pregnant (I know, tmi... but seriously! And no, I am not pregnant... you can breathe a sigh of relief, roomie). Once when I was younger, while asleep at a sleepover, I sat up in bed, looked at everyone, and yelled at the top of my lungs, "Kmart! No!" I slammed my fist into my pillow, and went back to sleep. I have no recollection of this and am pretty sure this all happened while sleeping. Keep me away from Kmart? Ha!
- This is my first time leaving my son (1) over night, the longest I have been away from my daughter (4), my first time flying since I was in 8th grade, and the longest I have left my husband since being married (7 years). I may vascilliate between "Yay! girl time!" and "I just SO miss my kids and husband!"

Don't be alarmed by this face. It's just me trying to get my flat, straight hair to be more voluminous. My hair is often straight and flat. This face will happen often. Ha!
I would love to know (Allume attendees and my readers alike), do we have anything in common??
